here's my point, obama's going to turn up the heat as it gets closer to the deadline. as dana and i have been talking about, we both think the can's going to be kicking down the road anyway and as obama pushes other agenda items in the state of the union, the blame game just doesn't work outside of the capitol. i think people don't understand why congress cannot do a basic job of deciding on what to spend and what to cut. >> they're not watching that minutia is what you're saying. >> right. this is not -- they're not looking at decimal points and the broad theme is dysfunction and gridlock and therefore, i think, it's just both houses. >> we've seen a very confident president during the recent weeks, we saw the state of the union showing that confidence, that swagger as many have said. not pressing hard to deal with the sequester right now that he thinks maybe that republicans will get the blame here. is that his thought, you think? >> yeah, he's going to let them sweat it out for a little bit. and he's suggesting we move beyond this austerity. and it's time to start t

i want to start on the issue of obama care. governor jindal, you seem to be bucking the trend among republicans. a lot of republican governors are saying we're going to go with what the president wants, expands medicaid rules, which is our option under the medicaid plan. we'll have to pay money but the federal government will pay more of it. you're saying, no, i'm not going to do that. other republicans are saying yes, you should. what do you know they don't know. >> one thing, every governor has to make the decision best know their state. it will cost louisiana taxpayers over a billion dollars in the next years. the president said doesn't make sense to put more people in the medicaid program without reforming the program. he was right in 2009. we have offered multiple times to meet with the president. we've offered to give flexibility on eligibility, benefit design, premium assistance, not a one size fits all approach. in louisiana alone, as many as 180,000 people would be moved from private insurance to medicaid under this ex

. >> woodruff: fresh from addressing the nation, president obama opened a new campaign today to sell his second-term economic plan. in turn, republicans dismissed most of his ideas as the failed policies of the past. the president flew south today, going directly to voters with his ideas for creating jobs and boosting the middle class. the post state of the union tour began in asheville, north carolina, at a plant that makes heavy-duty engines. he picked up where he had left off with his message the night before. >> our job as americans is to restore that basic bargain that says if you work hard, if you're willing to meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead. ( applause ) you can get ahead. doesn't matter what you look like, doesn't matter where you come from. our middle class, when it's growing, when it's thriving, when there are ladders of opportunity for people to do a little bit better each year and make sure that their kids are doing even better than them, that's the american dream. that's what we gotta fight for. that has to be the north star that guides everything we do. >
